Perhaps an odd query, but in the "good old days", you could add ram via add

My problem is I have a system who's BIOS(?) won't see more than 512 meg of
ram, even though it has 3 PC133 DIMM slots and it DOES recognize 256meg
dimms.
Is there an easy, or cheap, or preferably both method to get around this
limit in Windows or Linux?
Linux? Maybe. Sometimes Linux does its own reinitialization of
features so it might pick up the memory if it's just a BIOS limitation
issue.
Windows. Probably not unless you can get the BIOS to recognize it.
Check for a BIOS update on web sites.
It is possible though that you really do have a fundamental hardware
limitation, though.
Sorry, but I have to go with Carl on this. At this point, a single
stick of PC133 is probably more than a motherboard/CPU/DDR combo.
